Extended collaboration brings proven AI capabilities to more Soldiers and further supports Army modernization in the Indo-Pacific
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Striveworks is extending its partnership with the U.S. Army to bring proven AI capabilities to more soldiers and commanders across the Indo-Pacific. The Army has awarded Striveworks a five-year, $200 million contract to support that work.
Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) is the Army's foremost modernization effort, designed to enable commanders to make timely, informed decisions faster than the adversary. The Army awards announced this week bring NGC2 into delivery at I Corps. The Army award allows Striveworks to scale its suite of Chariot software across the NGC2 footprint. Under this award, Striveworks will provide common AI tools and services for NGC2, enabling the Army to deploy, monitor, and re-optimize AI models and agents as battlefield conditions rapidly change.
"Decision dominance is the core of NGC2," said James Rebesco, co-founder and CEO of Striveworks. "Our Chariot platform enables soldiers to use agents and models in dynamic, critical environments, driven by safety, assurance, and human control, even under the stress of combat – together, we've shown that AI can deliver a decisive advantage to our soldiers."
The award falls under the company's previously executed enterprise contract, and follows the service's confirmation in August that Striveworks will provide baseline AI tools and services for its multibillion-dollar NGC2 initiative.
Striveworks' software has supported gains in battlefield awareness and fires processing times. The company's Chariot platform, notably Chariot Forge, helps Soldiers streamline the processing of volumes of data into actionable insights with human review and authorization built in.
Units using the software have improved targeting precision, while maintaining a low signature and footprint, helping them move more easily and making them harder to detect.
